Estimated time:

Difficulty:
Medium
Ingredients:
- ⅓ kg sirloin steak
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 2 tbl chilli sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbl fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tbl soy sauce
- 3 medium shallots, minced
- 1/2 jalapeno pepper, minced
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 6 cups mesclun greens
Directions:
- Combine garlic, salt, pepper, lime zest, Asian chilli sauce and sesame oil in a flat glass dish or in a heavy resealable bag. Place sirloin in a whole piece in the marinade and cover or seal and marinate in fridge for 6 hours.
- Preheat barbecue on HIGH (240°c).
- To prepare dressing, blend lime juice, ginger, soy sauce, shallots, jalapeno pepper and salt in a food processor for 20 - 30 seconds. With motor running, gradually add olive oil in a thin stream. Pour into a small saucepan, and heat gently on your Broil King’s sideburner until just bubbling.
- Reduce barbecue temperature to MEDIUM (180°c), and lightly brush cooking grids with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Place beef on the grids and grill for 4 minutes per side - flipping at 2 minute intervals to get perfect grid marks.
- Thinly slice beef and arrange on top of mesclun greens. Pour warm dressing over the top and serve immediately.
